Combining an afternoon of all you can drink craft beer with the cream of the early-2000’s pop punk crop, the Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival is swinging back through Sacramento’s Papa Murphy’s Stadium for the 2019 edition on Saturday, Oct. 19.

This year NOFX headlines the festival. No strangers to finding the fine line where comedy, taboo and sheer offensiveness meet, the band is back together after some time apart during which singer Fat Mike put out the wrenching Cokie The Clown record.

For those unfamiliar with Punk In Drublic’s craft beer portion, everyone of age is given a plastic snifter upon entry, and can line up to have those glasses filled at any of the craft brewery tents in the center of the stadium as many times as they’d like until 4 p.m., when the music kicks off.

The tour rolls through once a year, and the combination of fun lineups with free beer usually makes it an epic afternoon. The show is 21 and older. VIP packages (which include early entry to the beer tastings and playing badminton with band members) are also available.
